How to make a Lavender Lemonade?

Where can I buy dried lavender?

 The first thing you need to do is prepare the lavender tea. I recommend getting fresh lavender from the farmers market. However, you can always get some lavender leaves from Walmart, a small business "lavender company" or you can always order it from Amazon. I ordered mine from Amazon and truthfully I love it. You can use dried lavender for many things especially tea. Lavender helps our bodies in so many ways such as hair growth, improve sleep, anti-tumor potential, wound healing, headache relief, anxiety and stress relief, pain management, head lice treatment, antimicrobial properties and antioxidant properties.

Many people will go for the simple way of steeping a lavender tea bag. There is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. However, I am a little old fashioned when it comes to making tea. I use the dried lavender leaves and let it steep in some hot water for around 7-10 minutes. There is something about the organic lavender leaves that brings forth a calming feeling in the house and as you inhale all the stressors of the day melts away. After the lavender steeps let it cold off a little as you prepare the lemonade portion of the drink.

This may not be the most traditional way of making lemonade or maybe it is. I was taught this way by my amazing mother. It's simple really I just cut up some lemons in half and squeeze it into a cup. I then tear apart some fresh mint and put it in the cup. I pour in my sweetener which is agave syrup in the cup and muddle it well until the mint infuses with all the ingredients. I then pour the lemonade mixture into a glass with ice.

My favorite part is to see the colors change when I pour the tea on top of the lemonade. When pouring the lavender tea on top of the lemonade mixture, the drink turns into a blush pink color. Always make sure to garnish your drink with a fresh lemon wedge and with a glass straw stir up the drinks and enjoy the burst of flavors.

Such a simple drink to prepare and packed with flavor. It’s truly a fantastic drink and perfect for a party. Make a big batch and serve it to your guests. Let me know what you think of your try it out.
